The Most Important Thing You May Not Know About Hypothyroidism

Head of the Department Prof. These are my symtoms. There are a few things that can lower thyroid function without raising TSH. It bad enough to feel like death but do we have to look like it too? My first endocrinologist wrecked absolute havoc on my hormones, and I lost a job and a marriage thanks to the spiralling depression, fatigue, and nearly all of the other known positive symptoms. Many times EBV resides in places or lies dormant and does not show up on tests.

Joint and body pain, and now I have a cataract in my right eye. I also work a full time job. Says that I am a highly functional very very sick person. Doctors do not have it all going on the way we all think. Infact this disease is way to time consuming for them so what do we do! Take your own life back.

I finally realize that I actually can have some impact here. I have been reaserching like crazy to figure this out. So far I have started to journal everything I do, feel, and eat. Still tired all the time but more energy. I watch what I eat. So far so good. I highly recommend this for anyone with autoimmune and Hashimotos.

Get rid of all gluten, watch foods high in lectin. I hope this might help some of you out there. Colostrum will heal your gut immune tree 6 powder. I know God sent this as a tool for my child with many gut issues from Autism and it works! Am 60 yr old lady. Had thyroidectomy 10 yrs ago cos of v large goitre. Previously on mg thyroxine for 20 yrs and still on same dosage. Deeloped weight probs so now got bad arthritis but also now seem to catch one cold after another. Obviously comprimised immune system.

Can anyone suggest something to help? Watch the program Fat,Sick, and Nearly dead. My depression is almost nonexistent and my energy is crazy high! I had tried everything but nutrition and this is nooo joke. Please check it out. Let me know if you have any questions. I do the mean green juice. What should I do? Hi Sydnee, firstly read through the comments on here you may find them to be helpful.

Secondly it may help you to cut out or at least reduce dairy and gluten for 2 weeks and see how you feel both of these foods are inflammatory.

Lastly, if you are able to get a juicer and have a glass of straight celery juice every morning on an empty stomach; celery juice is one of the most powerful and healing juices you can drink and can transform your health in as little as a week. Vitamin D deficiency is common with hypothyroidism. Vit D will effect your immune system, as well as your thyroid function. I recommend finding a naturopath and ask to switch to Armour Thyroid, or another form on Natural Desciated Thyroid.

The natural thyroid replacements work much better for many people. I also take a baby aspirin, Turmeric and low dose Naltrexone to lower the inflammation levels. Thank you for this article by the way. I have my dreams needed to fulfill to.. My confidence to talk in front slowly ate or eaten? I have to give an excuse letters for my check ups and blood tests.. My teachers keep asking, are you ok? They feel that pityness for me.. How I view myself is really in low state..

Can somebody help me? Your replies are much appreciated for me. First of all, my heart goes out to those who — like me — are dealing with a multitude of symptoms. I started the test with a level of 1. One thought from all this: I want to revisit the cortisol issue again.

My PCP and endocrinologist have no idea. Does anyone have any advice for me? Should I just chalk it up with low iron and be done? Or should I pursue the nephrologist? She feels given a few weeks with the 2 infusions, I should be fine. Capodo — sounds like you have an autoimmune issue. Also look into Colostrum by Immune Tree. Sounds like hypothyroidism to me.

I am hypothyroid as well, and I have been following a program by Tom Brimeyer called Hypothyroidism Revolution, look him up. A friend of mine normalized her very low iron when she switched from levothyroxine, a T4 medication to NatureThroid, a T4-T3 combination medication.

She was not expecting that to happen and her nurse practitioner was amazed! After years of infusions for low iron, the right thyroid medication made a surprising difference for my friend.

It sounds like you might have candida yeast overgrowth, especially with the sugar cravings, or parasites or even adrenal fatigue. FInd a GI specialist and ask for a comprehensive stool test and other testing. Good book to check out is Digestive Wellness 4the edition. You can buy it on Amazon. My body is also out of progesterone 0. It will also cause your thyroid meds not to work right no matter what. Also since hashomtos is an autoimmune disease the problem is not with your thyroid its with your immune system and that is what needs to be addressed first in order to heal your thyroid.

I just love falling apart as I get older. I was so insulted and pissed when i read that i called the clinic and told off the doctor and told her i dont know where you get off but if you EVER contact me again for anytjhing I swear to god i am going to call an attorney and file a lawsuit against you, the clinic and 4 other doctors for medical malpractice and negligence. She even refused to give me a script for progrsterone when i showed her the results of my last blood tests and told me i didnt need prigesterone because i am getting old and it didnt matter if i got fat and my breasts go flat etc.

I have found this for more than 20 years. Wellness clinics, nutritionists, or alternative medicine doctors are more accepting of these types of symptoms and methods to heal them.

I believe probiotics are an absolute must. I really trust a company called optibac in the UK. They have done extensive studies on strains. I use them exclusively. Progesterone has been a huge help for me for any number of symptoms. You can buy progesterone cream over the counter.

You can even get progesterone cream from cow or pig thyroid that has been dessicated. Lastly, take a look at CBD oil. It is derived legally from hemp and it is exploding right now. It is the only thing that helps my pain. I was convinced I had rheumatoid arthritis.

I take 25 mg CBD oil under my tongue 3 times a day. There are numerous ways to take it. You should see whats out there and the results that they are getting. Emergency Rooms are going to start using it. I wish you well in this quest. Hi Rena, may I ask how much glutamine powder you took and how long it took from starting it when you seem to notice a difference? Also which CDB oil have you been using?

Unfortunately there are a lot out there which are no good. Why are the number of people suffering from thyroid disorder continuing to rise each year as you stated in the beginning of your artical? I have had conversations with GP and endocrinologist about wheat, glyren etc. Body mistaking and attacking healthy cells. Some say it might be cause by bacteria, viruses, or dependence on antibiotics that kill off healthy instestinal flora. I went to school with your brother, Mark! The food served in this country is the issue.

It causes the DNA damage, attacks the gluten particles on your thyroid, then life as you know it is over!!! No doctor will help you, its simply not in the medical protocol. Medical biz will only give you more chemicals to throw you into a deeper tailspin.

There is no answers. I found that measles,mono have a lot to do with your future health.. I suffer from fatigue where I just want to stare at the walls and get nothing accomplished. My feet are cold and tingly, suffer weight gain, dry skin, hair loss and all the rest of the hypothyroid symptoms. I experience low blood sugar and all my blood work for diabetes comes back normal.

My A1C is at I check my glucose at home and my blood sugar has been low as 35 or All other blood work came back normal last week. I was tested for Hashimoto in and it to came back normal. I feel achy all the time. I feel as if all I want to do is sleep and do nothing. I have been getting headaches also.

Hi Becky — I am familiar with the symptoms. I am trying lugols iodine as suggested by Bonnie see comments in this post also I have been trying different natural herbal supplements including Gaia herbs adrenal health. Read about VeganSafe B one of the best B12 supplements which can work wonders for energy. Also read about celery juice and how this can heal.

Hope this somewhat helps. Could this be my adrenal gland? I never had any tests done for my adrenal glands at all. As I said in my previous comment, I was tested for Hashimoto in and it came back normal. I started taking Levothyroxin 25mcg since Now I am at 50 mcg. Does Hashimoto develop later? Hi Becky, the thyroid has a number of functions, the most important of which, is that it is responsible for regulating metabolism and energy levels in the body.

Low thyroid function is known as hypothyroidism. Many thyroid deficiency symptoms are also typical candida overgrowth symptoms, so there is also a connection between candida and thyroid problems. It can be a little overwhelming and no doubt leaves you thinking so where do I start. If you are happy to have your adrenals tested I would do it with a certified functional medicine practitioner. For the meantime I suggested the Gaia herbs, B and celery juice as these are all natural supplements which should help you on your way to feeling better.

It also helps to do a lot of research. I follow a few other naturopathic doctors and do a lot of research myself so hopefully these things may be of some help.

I have had something similar with the progestrone and hormonal imbalance. My thyroid meds were all okay. I went to a specialist who found the hormonal imbalance. I take a progesterone oil from amazon. I also had Vit D tested. You want to be on the high end. I feel great around 85 but doctors will think you are okay if in the range and it is low around I take 50,mg of D3 weekly to keep it higher.

It makes a huge difference. You may want to be retested for Hashimoto again. I only say this because last year my cycle became really out of wack and my OB performed a thyroid test on me.

They told me that my results were normal and that sometimes these things happen. After a month and half run around that included a cancer scare she finally diagnoses me with a B12 deficiency because my B12 was So they give me a shot of B Within the hour my symptoms get worse.

It takes me two weeks to get back in to see the real doctor. I decided to keep my mouth shut this time and let him test it. Thus this week I was diagnosed with Hashimoto with a B12 deficiency and put on the proper medication.

An auto-immune response can progress for a couple of years before any data shows up on a test. If you have a low basal body temp You start with the gut — get your digestive system in order, which will lead to balancing your hormones, which will balance your immune system….. Too little stomach acid will reek havoc, like a domino effect, with your health. Do not eat any factory farmed meats, dairy, or eggs -which are full of growth hormones, toxins, GMO-feed, and antibiotics.

Eat only pastured raised, grass-fed. It will take some time, but you will start to heal. My lab results found that I have low progesterone, making me estrogen dominant which could explain many of my symptoms. But I have also tested my thyroid for anti bodies 3 times. So I have an antibody present. My TGAb was always 0. Should I just accept what the doctors are saying that my thuroid is fine or does this seem strange to anyone else as well? Hi Linda, it can be immensely frustrating I know.

If you are convinced you have a thyroid issue presumably you have seen a certified practioner or someone very experienced in that field. A leaky gut is most likely your issue. This means you have a pourus gut. A condition in which bacteria, food particles etc. Your immune system responds by becoming hyper vigilant and attacking the foreign invador.

I have lost 46 lbs since last December 19, I have PCOS and genetically inherited high cholesterol and high blood sugar. Besides genetics I am a sugar addict and have binge eating disorder. I have been pre diabetic off and on for at least 5 years. I have never been diagnosed with diabetes as I have never reached diabetic numbers through a self induced OGTT, A1c tests, fructosamine and fasting blood sugars. My blood sugar has come down and I am still working on my cholesterol.

The cholesterol was measured by my primary care doctor and cardiologist. My last total cholesterol was but my hdl and triglycerides were in normal range. Taken about a couple months ago. I think it went high again because I started eating sugar again. I have lost and gained weight many times since then. Your lab looks pretty good. You mentioned total cholesterol. PCOS is making it difficult for you to keep your ideal weight. Regarding your diet, low carb, high protein is good.

My doc wants me to go off of naturethyroid which seems to be working except for my TSH is very low 0. My doc wants me to switch to Synthroid as she says it will work better.

Low TSH is a good thing. Your vitamin D is very low, though. Also research comparisons and consider getting a second opinion from a doctor who routinely prescribes natural thyroid and can manage your condition. After years unregulated by a traditional Dr.

T4 is your storage hormone and your body has to be able to convert the T4 from the meds to T3, which is the active hormone. I am intolerant to gluten including corn dairy and other foods. I have tried to heal leaky gut but had very severe reaction to l glutamine and am now super sensitive to even very small amounts of intolerant foods i.

My son is a type 1 diabetic. I want to take priobotics was thinking of taking bio kult. I live in England so cannot get hold of a lot of things sold in America. Please could you give me some advice Many Thanks.

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism post delivery. My anti microsomal antibodies are negative. But still Doctor put me on thyroid medication. I have corrected all other related deficiencies like vitamin D B 12 etc Please help. I would advise against discontinuing. My girlfriend has been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism for several years and has been taking 25mb of Eutirox Levothyroxine. She has also been told it is an Auto Immune Disease. She also has some gut sensitivities and with no proper diagnosis I believe she may have leaky gut.

Focus of my reading has been on auto immune disease, leaky gut and thyroid issues. Forgive me if I have this all wrong. My girlfriend also has other issues such as breast and ovarian cysts, Hair Loss, Tiredness in afternoon, puffy eyes if she is off Levothyroxine. So my first comment is that Hypothyroidism is not listed as an Auto Immune Disease. I found the list here:. So my assumption is that Hypothyroidism is a symptom of something else. Of course Hypothyroidism is a symptom of Hashimotos, listed as an auto immune disease, as well as a symptom of Iodine deficiency.

All covered by Chris in his articles. Chris mentions that some cases of Hypothyroidism have shown improvements with supplementing on Iodine and he references Dr.

David Brownstein as an expert on Iodine. Brownstein speaking about Iodine supplementation referenced below he gives higher dosages in his recommendations for daily Iodine supplementation.

Once researchers realized this, health authorities around the world began adding iodine to table salt. This strategy was effective in correcting iodine deficiency. But it had an unanticipated—and undesired—effect.

In countries where iodine has been added to table salt, the rates of autoimmune thyroid disease have risen. Why does this happen? Because increased iodine intake, especially in supplement form, can increase the autoimmune attack on the thyroid. Iodine reduces the activity of an enzyme called thyroid peroxidase TPO.

TPO is required for proper thyroid hormone production. On the other hand, restricting intake of iodine can reverse hypothyroidism. So some conflicting information about Iodine but is Chris actually referring to Hypothyroidism when it is caused by Hashimotos?

Rather than Hypothyroidism caused by Iodine deficiency? According to Dr Group referenced below Iodized Salt is not a good source of dietary iodine but note Dr Group does sell an Iodine supplement. Brownstein interviewed by Dr Joseph Mercola has some interesting info on Iodine. Dr Mercola has been interviewed by Chris himself on one of his podcasts. Generic Information on Iodine: Also Chris recommends a higher dose as does Dave Asprey on http: On this page is a 1 hr video where Dr.

Group discusses Iodine and Iodine deficiency. Group lists all the other symptoms that my girlfriend has as being caused by Iodine deficiency. Global Healing Centre sell various products one of which Detoxadine is a high dose Iodine supplement.

So in summary I believe that my girlfriends doctors have confused us with their diagnosis of Hypothyroidism as an Auto Immune Disease and have not included her other symptoms namely breast and ovarian cysts, Hair Loss, tiredness in afternoon, puffy eyes, which they knew about, as possibly caused by Iodine deficiency alone. Or they have not found the true cause of the Hypothyroidism which could be Hashimotos.

We will need to find a Dr or FMP to help here further investigate her hypothyroidism cause and subsequent healing plan. I hope this information is accurate and if it is that it helps someone in their own investigation. Please say where you live, so that the community can help.

I know of great Drs. Paul, MN and San Diego. It took me years to find them. Thanks for the info on Iodine. I have Hashimotos, and am on Nature-Throid. Good luck to your girlfriend and I hope she appreciates such a thoughtful boyfriend. I was just diagnosed with non-autoimmune hypothyroidism. My doctor, a functional medicine doc, prescribed natural thyroid. My TSH is 4. Any info would help. My first endocrinologist wrecked absolute havoc on my hormones, and I lost a job and a marriage thanks to the spiralling depression, fatigue, and nearly all of the other known positive symptoms.

Darling this was one of the first signs I had of this disease. You need high levels of Levothyroxin. You also need to be monitored by testing of your T4 and T5 levels. I am taking mg of Levothyroxin and am just now feeling some relief and have lost 20lbs in a year.

This is significant for me as I have weighed over lbs for some time now. I now can see my bones in my ankles. Hello, I recently went to the Endocrinologist and he ordered blood work and I received a phone call 2 days ago from the nurse telling me that it I have Central hypothyroid but it is not caused by an autoimmune disease.

If it is not an autoimmune disease then what could it possibly be? I can not find anything on the internet regarding Central Hypothyroidism without cause of an autoimmune disease.

Hope someone can shed some light onto what maybe going on. Thank you in advance. You might have pituitary adenoma. I have hypothyroidism…on synthroid 75 MG. I go back and forth trying to figure out a better schedule in taking meds. I am not one for taking meds…not even Advil…but its getting ridiculous.

What do u guys think? Cleared for lupus, cleared for MS… this sucks. My test results always said I was fine too, I stopped smoking and had my thyroid checked a month after quitting and I had TSH levels all out of whack! I had been telling the Dr over and over that I think I have something wrong with my thyroid and they would do the test and always came back within range.

I do believe smoking causes a false reading. Charlie, Consider getting tested for celiac disease, which is commonly associated with thyroid disease. There are many different symptoms, including joint pain. Do not start eating gluten-free before being tested because it will affect the test results. For more info, go to: Hi Charlie, your situation sounds so much like mine did yrs ago. I had been getting joint pain for yrs and thought I was just pushing myself too much. When I turned 35 I found out I had hypothyroidism and only a year and a half ago which was 6 yrs later I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

My synthroid dosage is mcg. When you take D-3, you also need to supplement with Magnesium. Unless you supplement with magnesium, the D-3 will consume all of the magnesium in your body and make your joints ache. Also take probiotics to heal your gut. Do you drink things with aspartame in them? That was major for my joint pain. Kicked all artificial sweeteners to the curb and relief from joint pain. Never knew it to be related to my hypothyroidism.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about about 5 months ago at the ER. It felt like my hips were going out of place. My lower back felt like it was punched and beaten, I would hunch over for relief.

All my joints seemed audible. I had to bend and crack my toes every morning so I could walk without pain. I did a little research and tried out potassium gluconate suppliments I came across at Walmart. I can stand tall, use my body again, especially my hands without that grinding piercing ache. It feels like two years ago when nothing felt wrong.

You may want to have a vitamin deficiency panel done by your doc to make sure you take the right amount of vitamins. You may need a higher dose of levo. I have hypothyroidism diagnosed by symptoms rather than thyroid blood tests. The test results were always normal. Fortunately my sinus doctor suggested to my primary physician that I be started on medication because of years of sinus infections a year.

Gradually over the years the dosage has been increased. I am now on Synthroid mcg a day. My thyroid levels except for the TSH remain in normal range. My TSH is way low which freaks my doctors out. But I continue on because I have no symptoms of hyperthyroidism. My temperature which is my guideline remains below 98F. Although it is creeping up. Thank Good for my sinus doctor who encouraged my primary care physician to step out of the box.

Does anyone know if hypothyroidism would effect wbc? I doing great other than that my EBV is low, at 2. Vit D is a little low as is iron, but everything else is good and I feel better than I have in a long time. What is your white blood cell count? If your neutrophils are low, it could be a B12, folate or copper deficiency.

B12 and folate are the most common deficiencies and especially common for folks with thyroid issues. Copper deficiency can happen to anyone taking high iron supplements or taking too much zinc.

Zinc is common in thyroid supplements. More than 50mg a day for even a week or two can lead to a copper deficiency, which can be very dangerous. There is such a huge misunderstanding about EBV. Many times EBV resides in places or lies dormant and does not show up on tests. EBV and heavy metals is the root cause of most all auto immune diseases and can be eliminated! Check out the book Medical Medium a must read if you want to cure the root cause.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age The only symptom was very irregular periods. I was prescribed 25mcg of levothyroxine. At 15, the doctor changed the dose to 50, at 19 to 88 and at 21 to Have been sluggish and overweight for at least 3 years… Nothing really seems to help much.

My numbers- from what I could tell have been normal. Now, my TSH is a little low. I have been experiencing sweeling of my hands and feet and very dry skin and hair.
